Weekly bacteriological monitoring
Assessment conducted on Thursday, December 22, 2022. We have a RED flag in the Condado Lagoon Estuarine Nature Reserve and at El Escambrón Beach. We recommend avoiding direct contact with these areas. Likewise, we recommend avoiding direct contact with any body of water during rain events and for at least 48 hours afterward.
The restoration and water quality management efforts in the San Juan Bay estuary watershed are made possible by our supporters. Donations to the Estuary are tax-deductible in Puerto Rico and the United States.
